-$.16

so i went to harris teeter to buy some cheap groceries... i just did not know how cheap it was going to be!
a friend had emailed me to update me on what was cheep today (thanks wrenn!!). so i brought my 4 coupons for pert plus (we don't usually use pert plus... but if it is free... why not!!) and 1 for reynolds aluminum foil. after, kind of, sprinting to the shampoo isle (i mean it was 5:45 and i was afraid they would all be gone) i was surprised to find that there were indeed some left. so i grabbed 4 then headed to pick up the aluminum foil, which was also still there!
so i made my way to the check out and after ringing up all 5 items, the total was something like $10.45. so i handed over my coupons... well we made it to the last one and it would not scan. at this point, i only owed $1.34 and my coupon was for $1.50. so the kid called over the manager and she over-rode it. then the total was -$.16. she kind of freaked out and said "well we can't give you money back, we can't give money back." then she told me that i needed to buy something else. i told her that i wasn't going to buy anything else, they did not have to give me money back, but i wasn't going to buy anything. so i left the store owing nothing and with 5 products!! yea coupons!!!
